bash script to identify the files based on current date and file name pattern

Question

bash script to identify the files based on current date and file name pattern .

There are 10 files located in different directory which contains date pattern in it . I need to pick these files one by one and send to remote site .

I thought to list the file naming pattern, location in config file and pick from the script but without any luck . Someone help

sample file name patter and location .

/documents/accounts/abc_yyyy-mm-dd.txt

/documents/namelist/def_yyyy-mm-dd-txt

/documents/newcustomer/ghijkl_yyyy-mm-dd-txt

date=`date +%Y-%m-%d`; config_file="/scripts/config/abc.cfg"; echo $config_file; URL="http://localhost:9200/document-$date"; while read var value do "$var"= curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/documents-'$date'/document/ done < /path/to/abc.config 

to pick these files daily and send it to remote site using curl everyday once all the files are available .

Answer 1

I created this files

[leonardo4it@box4it tst] $ ll -R /home/leonardo4it/tst/* /home/leonardo4it/tst/abc: total 0 -rw-rw-r-- 1 leonardo4it leonardo4it 0 Dec 28 14:04 abc_2016-12-28.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 leonardo4it leonardo4it 0 Dec 28 14:34 excluded.txt /home/leonardo4it/tst/shhh: total 0 -rw-rw-r-- 1 leonardo4it leonardo4it 0 Dec 28 14:06 hbcinema_2016-12-28.txt /home/leonardo4it/tst/u111: total 0 -rw-rw-r-- 1 leonardo4it leonardo4it 0 Dec 28 14:06 uu_2016-12-28.txt 

once built the date of the day use find like above. I get this list

[leonardo4it@box4it tst] $ export dat_day=(`date +%Y-%m-%d`) [leonardo4it@box4it tst] $ echo $dat_day 2016-12-28 [leonardo4it@box4it tst] $ find /home/leonardo4it/tst/ -type f -name "*$dat_day.txt" /home/leonardo4it/tst/abc/abc_2016-12-28.txt /home/leonardo4it/tst/shhh/hbcinema_2016-12-28.txt /home/leonardo4it/tst/u111/uu_2016-12-28.txt

#!/bin/bash date=$(date +%Y-%m-%d) find /documents/ -type f -name "*${date}.txt" | while read filename do echo "filename : ${filename}" # put your transfer logic here... done
